Firstly, I want to offer my deepest gratitude to my primary supervisor, A/Prof Barbara Mullan. Barbara, you have been the most wonderful supervisor and given me such fantastic guidance and support. I have loved our supervisory relationship; it was just the right mix of fun, encouragement and nudges forward. Thank you for all of your time and effort, and for putting up with me! I hope you enjoyed our time as much as I did! To my associate supervisors, Prof. Alex Blaszczynski and Dr. Carolyn MacCann, thank you for providing me with additional assistance and expertise along the way. To my close family: mum, dad, Robbie and Nicky, and extended family, I would like to thank you for always supporting me and continuing to be proud of me and believe in my abilities. I am extremely lucky to have such a wonderful, loving, intelligent and fun family, who I also consider to best friends. I would particularly like to thank mum and dad, who have supported me both emotionally and practically throughout this degree, and without this I would not have been able to complete it. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all of my friends, both DCP and non-DCP, who have supported me throughout this course, and made it fun, and often hilarious, along the way. In particular, I am very lucky to have the enduring, amazing and forever-friendship that is PET (Poppy and Tory). Thank you also to my special Tom for your ever-present support, love, pride and belief in me. I am also grateful for my partner-in-crime Natalie, and your empathic nature. While there are too many more special people to mention, please know that I am still very thankful for all of your fantastic personalities, love and support. iii Abstract The production and consumption of internet pornography is widespread, particularly as a result of its highly available, accessible and anonymous nature. Pornography may be an important influence upon sexual scripts, yet research into the cognitive, behavioural and interpersonal outcomes of its use is inconsistent and limited, particularly in adults, and until recently has been focused primarily upon potential harms. Accordingly, the current research attempted to address this gap in the literature through examining pornography use in adults, from a holistic point of view attempting to encompass both the potential benefits and possible negative associations of pornography consumption. Three online surveys were conducted with Australian adult pornography consumers, with comparison groups of non- users. A systematic review highlighting the lack of research examining the link between pornography use and sexual risk behaviour in adults was the impetus for study one (N=620). The results indicated that current internet pornography use was associated with higher sexual sensation seeking, and higher sexual compulsivity in females only, but it was not linked with any other indicators of sexual risk behaviour, including number of sexual partners, STI history, condom attitudes, intention to use a condom or unsafe casual sex. In study two (N=1016), a model of how internet pornography may act as a form of sexual inspiration was tested. Partial support was demonstrated, as internet pornography use was associated with more positive attitudes, greater engagement in a range of sexual activities, and higher sexual boredom. No evidence for a link with body or genital image was demonstrated. Finally, use of internet pornography in individuals within relationships was investigated in study three (N= 812). Daily or greater use of internet pornography was associated with poorer relationship intimacy in males only. Sexual communication iv satisfaction was higher for females, but lower for males, with more frequent internet pornography use. Regardless of gender, sexual communication satisfaction was greater when internet pornography was viewed with a partner. The findings were discussed in terms of the research implications and relevant theoretical perspectives; common antecedents to pornography use and its associations, gender differences and feminist approaches were considered. Possible clinical implications and avenues for future research were then explored. v Contents Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Internet Pornography .................................................................................................................... 3 1.2 The Impact of Pornography on Sexuality: Theoretical Background .............................................. 5 1.3 Aims and Scope of Thesis ............................................................................................................... 9 1.4 Overview of Thesis ....................................................................................................................... 10 Chapter 2: A Systematic Review of the Association Between Pornography Use and Sexual Risk Behaviours in Adult Consumers ............................................................................................................ 12 2.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................. 12 2.1.1 Sexual risk behaviours ............................................................................................................... 12 2.1.2 Rationale and aims of the current systematic review ............................................................... 13 2.2 Methods ....................................................................................................................................... 14 2.3 Results .......................................................................................................................................... 18 2.3.1 Unsafe sex practices and condom use ...................................................................................... 30 2.3.2 Number of sexual partners ........................................................................................................ 32 2.3.3 Casual sex behaviour ................................................................................................................. 34 2.4 Discussion..................................................................................................................................... 35 2.4.1 Unsafe sex practices and condom use ...................................................................................... 37 2.4.2 Number of sexual partners ........................................................................................................ 38 2.4.3 Casual sex behaviour ................................................................................................................. 39 2.4.4 Conclusions ................................................................................................................................ 39 Chapter 3: Sexual Risk Behaviour and Associations With Internet Pornography Use .......................... 41 3.1 Literature Review ......................................................................................................................... 41 3.1.1 Sexual sensation seeking ........................................................................................................... 41 3.1.2 Sexual compulsivity ................................................................................................................... 42 3.1.3 Condom attitudes and safer sex ................................................................................................ 43 3.1.4 Number of sexual partners and casual sex behaviour .............................................................. 45 vi 3.1.5 Hypotheses ................................................................................................................................ 45 3.2 Methods ......................................................................................................................................

CHAPTER 2 Participatory porn culture Feminist positions and oppositions in the internet pornosphere Allegra W. Smith Introductions: pornography, feminisms, and ongoing debate Though first-wave feminists had engaged in debate and advocacy surrounding sexual knowledge and obscenity since the late-19th century (Horowitz, 2003), American advocates did not begin to address pornography as a feminist concern until the 1970s, ostensibly beginning with the formation of the activist group Women Against Violence in Pornography and Media (WAVPM) in 1978. WAVPM was a reactionary response to the mainstreaming of hardcore pornography in the wake of American sexual liberation, which many second wave feminists claimed “…encouraged rape and other acts of violence, threatening women’s safety and establishing a climate of terror that silenced women and perpetuated their oppression… [thus helping] create and maintain women’s subordinate status” (Bronstein, 2011, pp. 178–179). The resulting “porn wars” (or, more broadly, “sex wars”) of the 1980s and 1990s polarized second- and third-wave feminists into two camps: (1) anti-porn feminists, such as writer Andrea Dworkin (1981) and legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon (1984), who opposed the creation and distribution of pornographic images and videos on moral and political grounds; and (2) pro-porn or sex-positive feminists, such as anthropologist Gayle Rubin and feminist pornographer Candida Royalle, who advocated for freedom of sexual expression and representation. The rhetoric surrounding the social and cultural ills perpetuated by pornography was duly acrimonious, with one prominent feminist writing, “pornography is the theory, rape is the practice” (Morgan, 1978, p.

Magaldi* INTRODUCTION Changes in social mores and technology have yielded the phenomenon of sext- ing, which includes the capturing and forwarding of intimate images through the Internet.1 Research reveals that nearly ®fty percent of adults in the United States have sent or received intimate digital content. 2 At the same time, the con¯uence of these changes has spawned new violations of privacy and predatory actions when these images are made available on the Internet without the subject's consent.3 The re-distribution or dissemination of these intimate images without the consent of the subject and without a legitimate purpose (such as a law enforcement investigation) is referred to as nonconsensual pornography (ªNCPº). 4 NCP has caused victims to suffer substantial harm.5 In some cases, NCP inci- dents have precipitated a victim's suicide.6 Prior generations might have concluded that a person who allowed such images to be captured and placed in the possession of another person assumed the risk of re-distribution; in essence, a negligence, recklessness, or constructive consent argument. In contrast, in the twenty-®rst cen- tury, capturing or sharing of intimate images is often regarded as an acceptable * Jonathan S.

Women’s sexuality, specifically, is expected to be proficient and perpetually practising. We examine what the mainstreaming of porn- ography means for sexual desire and agency among 27 young women negotiating hetero- sex. Participants’ accounts of sexuality and pornography are reflected in a (dis)ordering porn interpretive repertoire. Porn is positioned alternately as: ridiculous and recapitulated performance; a (contested) arousal tool; pedagogy and pictogram;and(resisted) re-enactment pressure. Pornography’s regulatory effects are both rejected and recapitulated. Whether they use porn as a template for sexual possibilities or decry its codes as undesirable, porn acts as an unavoidable cultural reference point for considering sexuality for these young Corresponding author: Maria Gurevich, PhD,

Rebecca Whisnant Confronting pornography: Some conceptual basics Porn takes over There can be no doubt, at this moment in history, that pornography is a truly massive industry saturating the human community. According to one set of numbers, the US porn industry's revenue went from $7 million in 1972 to $8 billion in 1996 ... and then to $12 billion in 2000.1 Now I'm no economist, and I understand about inflation, but even so, it seems to me that a thousand­ fold increase in a particular industry's revenue within 25 years is something that any thinking person has to come to grips with. Something is happening in this culture, and no person's understanding of sexuality or experience of relationships can be unaffected. The technologies of pornography are ever more dynamic. Obviously, video porn was a huge step up from magazines and even from film.

    Generated Pornography: Amateurs and the Ambiguity of Authenticity

    1 User-generated pornography: amateurs and the ambiguity of authenticity Susanna Paasonen When focusing on pornographic content generated by amateurs, pornography starts, to a degree, become undone as a point of reference, object of common-knowledge, topic of public debate, policy and regulation. Largely, albeit not completely detached from the framework of the porn industry as a perceived system of production and distribution, the developments and histories of amateur pornography remain ill documented. These cultural artefacts remain notably absent from publicly available media archives, yet enough traces of images, films and texts have remained to suggest that the amateur production has been both lively and multi-medial well before the rise of digital production and distribution, and so-called user generated porn. While some scholars identify DIY content especially with the affordances and specificities of network media (e.g. Jacobs 2007), such claims come with the risk of ahistorical generalization This chapter accounts for both the historical roots of amateur porn production across different media and the complexities that contemporary distribution of user-generated content involves. In order to chart some of the mundane histories and experiences connected to amateur practice, I draw on memory work material on pornography that my research group collected together with the Folklore Archives of the Finnish Literature Society in 2012.1 These recollections are helpful in mapping out both transformations and continuities in everyday encounters with pornography across decades as they have played out in one specific North European country in the course of drastic changes in media culture, technology and in the public visibility and regulation of sexual cultures alike.

    Sarah Daniels's Masterpieces and Anthony Neilson's the Censor Luc

    Fall 2010 75 Drama and Pornography: Sarah Daniels’s Masterpieces and Anthony Neilson’s The Censor Luc Gilleman There is something awesome about the way that pornography can move our bodies, even when we don’t want it to and even if we don’t approve of the images that make it happen. —Carol J. Clover1 Two Plays about Pornography and Censorship According to British playwright David Hare, drama invites the audience to compare what is said with what is shown, therefore allowing the audience to arrive at an independent judgment: Judgment is at the heart of the theatre. A man steps forward and informs the audience of his intention to lifelong fidelity to his wife, while his hand, even as he speaks, drifts at random to the body of another woman. The most basic dramatic situation you can imagine; the gap between what he says he is and what we see him to be opens up, and in the gap we see something that makes theatre unique; that it exposes the difference between what a man says and what he does.2 As a textual and visual medium, drama is indeed particularly good at exposing lies and illusions. In Hare’s example, the visual trumps the textual, perhaps in accordance with a socialist playwright’s notions of objectivity. After all, seeing is believing. Why is it, then, that playwrights and directors find it hard to determine what the audience sees? Far from offering a neutral space for scientific inquiry where the audience is offered the means of empirical verification, theatre draws attention to the complexity of representation.

    The Celebrity Nude Photo Hack As Digital Phenomenon

    Selected Papers of Internet Research 16: The 16th Annual Meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers Phoenix, AZ, USA / 21-24 October 2015 CASCADING EXPLOITATIONS: THE CELEBRITY NUDE PHOTO HACK AS DIGITAL PHENOMENON Caitlin E. Lawson University of Michigan Background On August 31, 2014, the Internet was abuzz after the release of hundreds of private nude photos of female celebrities. For months, a collective of hackers had worked to penetrate Apple’s iCloud storage, which automatically backs up photos from devices such as iPhones. However, iCloud does not lock users out after a number of incorrect login attempts, so the hackers guessed the usernames/email addresses and passwords of female celebrities until they were able to access the accounts. An anonymous self- proclaimed “collector” then acquired the photos and published them on social media sites such as AnonIB, 4chan and Reddit. From there, they quickly spread via various digital networks across the world. While the scandal was analyzed ad nauseum by media outlets, largely lost in the discussion was a sustained examination of the ways in which the affordances of digital media, and particularly social media, facilitated the incident. This essay examines the digital implications of the celebrity nude photo hack by analyzing three facets: its relation to the broader practices of hacking, the implications of the photographs’ circulation online through social media, and the photographs as a form of online pornography. Ultimately, the transcoding and online circulation of these nude and semi-nude images of women facilitated not only the exploitation of the celebrities but also the exploitation of the affordances of digital media.

Kinsley* INTRODUCTION The modern sexting phenomenon amongst adults raises important questions at the intersection of relational privacy, free expression, and federal criminal law. A little-known but long-standing federal statutory scheme—18 USC 2257, 2257A, and the accompanying Attorney General regulations (“Section 2257”)—threatens to criminalize the private ex- change of sexual communication between consenting adults. While there has been relatively frequent litigation involving Section 2257 initiated by the commercial adult entertainment industry, courts and scholars alike have been all but silent as to Section 2257’s impact on private, not-for- profit sexual speech. So too has the literature on the legality of sexting focused almost exclusively on adolescents, whose erotic exchanges raise concerns about child pornography and human trafficking not triggered by adult communication.
